Prison Walls - Angry Johnny and the Killbillies

These prison walls keep me from leaving

There’s no escape I’m not strong enough

I was condemned the night the

devil came soul stealin'

The day I lost my one true love

These prison walls are built of sorrow

These prison bars are built of pain

My prison cell is always with me I live in hell, I’ve gone insane

This prison is my very own invention

Nobody sees the barbed wire but me I think that they’re just no paying attention

I pray she comes back home and sets me free

The prison guards, laugh at my heartache

The say there’s no chance for parole

I tried so hard, but these bars they will not break

She took my heart, Scratch took my soul

What kind of stones are these walls made of If I am guilty what was my crime

I love her so what was she afraid of Forever more I’ll do my time

These prison walls keep me from leaving

These prison bars harder than steel

She’s got her own prison walls and

they’re concealing

The love that she will never feel.
